The CinePearl Take
Rob Burnett’s direction keeps the pacing breezy, allowing the film’s quieter moments to breathe. Craig Roberts delivers a breakout performance, portraying a sarcastic yet vulnerable teenager with just the right amount of bite. The movie’s central theme—finding purpose through caring for others—resonates without ever feeling preachy.
